The more John McCain tries to differentiate himself from George Bush, the more evidence surfaces that dictates the exact opposite. Huffington Post has a video up of McCain being interviewed on Meet the Press in 2005 where he said: And on the transcendent issues, the most important issues of our day, I’ve been totally in […]
A “gang of 14” House Republicans won’t endorse John McCain: At least 14 Republican members of Congress have refused to endorse or publicly support Sen. John McCain for president, and more than a dozen others declined to answer whether they back the Arizona senator. Many of the recalcitrant GOP members declined to detail their reasons […]
That’s how John McCain characterized getting the troops out of Iraq today: First it was 100 years in Iraq, then it became “out by 2013” and now we get “it’s not that important”. This ranks right up there with Boehner’s characterizing the dead soldiers as a “small price to pay”. It might not be important […]
John McCain speaking about oil prices: “I don’t think it’s going much lower, and it could go higher,” Really? Not even with Bush/Cheney running things? Not even with the Republican obstructionists in the Senate? So we are stuck with more of the same, and that is being said by the man who is running as […]

I want to know where it’s at. Where’s this important party unity we keep hearing about? Well Republicans – where is it? You’re presumptive nominee is failing to get about a 1/4 of the vote. This has been a constant trend for John McCain since securing the nomination. It really looks like your party is […]
January? (h/t Oliver Willis) I have been involved in some elections over the years, and I want to give John McCain some advice. This will come at no charge. The final two months of an election are the make or break period. I would suggest you save all your money and efforts and put them […]
And thank God. After tonight all the states will be counted. This has been a long primary season, but that’s due in a large part to this new crazy schedule. That’s also why I supported sanctions against Florida and Michigan. Without sanctions for violating the timing rule, we could end up with our 2012 primaries […]
Andrea Mitchell continues to push it: On MSNBC Live, Andrea Mitchell failed to challenge Republican strategist Trent Duffy’s false claim that Sen. John McCain “was one of the first to call for Secretary Rumsfeld’s resignation.” In fact, as his campaign itself has reportedly admitted, McCain did not call for former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s resignation.
